YOU magazine: subs

Thursday was spent with the sub editing team of YOU magazine, they are responsible for proof reading and correcting all articles and text that is featured within the magazine. My first editing task featured the crossword and horoscopes. I had to fill in the crossword (which is a lot harder than it sounds when the clues are cryptic) and spell check the horoscopes.

The second task involved creating headlines and sub text for an June photo shoot featuring a model dressed in white luxurious clothes on a cruise liner. Titles included cruise muse, liner luxe, cote couture and cruise couture.

The second shoot involved a trend review of fashion to wear in the city vs fashion to wear on the beach, my suggestions included beach retreat vs city escape, beach breeze vs city chic, palm paradise vs concrete jungle and beach break vs city make.

During the afternoon i attended the picture review which featured all the photo shoots and articles photos that had been shot that week for the editor to crit and select her favourite ones as well as the magazine review for the up and coming four issues and planning the foundations of the fifth. This was a good insight into how a magazine runs and how the different groups come together

It was the best of times

Paperwhite

Needing inspiration on a current university zine project we have chosen to focus on nostalgia and memories. We are asking people if they have any outstanding moments they wished they have on camera and we are getting Nottingham creative talent to produce some illustrations to accompany these, if you have any memories you wish you'd of caught on camera click here to post, alternatively if you would like to collaborate with our zine contact me. 


The reason i choose this shoot was for the layers and composition of the photographs, the layering and the shadowy atmosphere that is projected that reminded me of my project.

White Swans

One thing that i would really love to learn this summer is photography and editing, i love the layers and overlapping of photographs with the beach landscape over the model producing a more powerful vision, the blurry pale surroundings and simplicity of the surroundings, it just goes to show you do not need an extravagant set to produce some top quality images.

After discovering the website the Ones to watch click here i have to admit i have spent a lot of time scrolling through the endless pages and pages of design and inspiration, i particularly like the editing, the considered scribbling, graphics and layers.

Collage me

After talking a lot recently about postmodern influences on fashion communication and promotion i came across this collage on Tumblr and really loved it, reblogged from tastefully random, i love the composition of the faces against the full figure below. Playing with scale and texture and form is all about what this collage is about and i am defiantly storing this is  my fashion communication memory bank because this is something easily done, yet so innovative and inspiring.
